Transcript

Oh, wait. That had a lot of flavor. I was not expecting that. It's somewhere between a sparkling better, like a seltzer, and a soda. Oh tier god. It's delicious. Delicious. It's not super sweet, but it has, like, the perfect amount of sweetness. I love it. I think he likes it too. Oh, wow. Refreshing. It's like a grown up OJ. Oh, that's very tasty. Oh, that's really good. It's not super sweet. Like, sodas, like, normally are. A more refreshing version of, like, a soda kind of reminds me of, like, those, like, the freeze pops and, like, the tube, like, that I always bad when I was a kid.
